After Zhu Yunwen succeeded to the throne, only four years passed before the imperial power declined.
Not only that, it also directly caused the death of Xiang King Zhu Bai.
Although what Chu Ze said was that Emperor Jianwen's whereabouts were unknown, Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well in his heart what the four words "unaccounted for" meant.
His original intention for enfeoffment was to hope that his descendants would work together to protect the legacy he had laid for future generations.
But this is only the first generation!
A king of Xiang died and an eldest grandson disappeared.
Especially after Zhu Di came to power, life would be awkward for the remaining people in Zhu Biao's lineage.
Regarding the matter of enfeoffment, no one had tried to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang before.
But the outcome can be imagined.
It's just that there is a huge difference between the scene back then and now.
The predecessors persuaded me that at that time, Lao Zhu insisted on going his own way and only felt that what he did was right.
But now, later generations have explained that it is something that will definitely happen in the future.
If Zhu Yuanzhang still insists on having his own way now.
What are the consequences...
He will still lose his twelve sons, and at the same time, Zhu Yunwen, the eldest grandson, will still lose to Xishan...
If that's the case, what's the point of enfeoffing oneself?
After seeing the consequences, even the last bit of luck in my heart had completely disappeared.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that his mind was particularly messed up.
He just wanted to have some quiet time.
After arranging Zhu Biao's affairs, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes swept across the faces of the remaining people.
Zhu Di and Zhu Xi, facing Zhu Yuanzhang's extremely indifferent gaze, could not help but shrink their heads.
Lao Zhu's sense of oppression towards the princes was almost innate.
This may be the suppression of blood.
But when Lao Zhu's eyes finally fell on Chu Ze's face, he felt a little confused for a moment.
What on earth should I do with this guy?
It is absolutely impossible to kill.
But being imprisoned... doesn't seem appropriate.
Because judging from Chu Ze's current state, it would be an exaggeration to say that he is mentally a bit abnormal.
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang himself couldn't figure out why Chu Ze was so afraid of him!
Just listening to Chu Ze's remarks in the past two days, it can be seen that he actually respects himself, the Hongwu Emperor.
Of course, although sometimes what this guy says is quite unpleasant.
But as far as his personal attitude is concerned, it can't be said to be too bad.
But judging from Chu Ze's mental state at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was basically certain that if he ordered Chu Chuze to be imprisoned, this guy might just find a way to commit suicide the next moment.
For Zhu Yuanzhang at this time, this guy Chu Ze is definitely a treasure.
How can the history of the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years be explained clearly in a few words?
For many things in the future, we can get some general directions from Chu Ze's mouth.
Therefore, it is basically impossible for Lao Zhu to kill Chu Ze.
At least for the time being, it is absolutely impossible.
But how to treat him is another problem.
"Your Majesty, why do you keep looking at me... Well, I have said a lot of things today. Do you think this is considered meritorious service? How about... giving me a reward?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang was still thinking about how to deal with this guy Chu Ze.
Chu Ze saw that he kept staring at him, but remained silent again.
Simply use one move and if the enemy is immobile, I will move first!
He smiled directly and extended his hand to Zhu Yuanzhang to ask for reward.
After seeing Chu Ze's playful smile, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was originally serious, just made him laugh angrily.
"Okay, okay! We can consider you to have made a meritorious service. Tell me, what reward do you want? Since you directly saved the prince, you also saved the emperor's grandson and the King of Zhou. We give you permission to reward you. .”
"Whatever you want, just ask and we'll reward you!"
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled very happily, and even laughed very comfortably.
He seems to be really happy.
It's just that his sinister eyes gave people a chilling feeling after all.
Faced with Chu Ze's request for reward, Zhu Yuanzhang agreed without hesitation.
But in fact, he actually wanted to hear what Chu Ze wanted.
If it’s gold, silver, jewelry, beauties’ mansions, etc.
Lao Zhu might actually reward him.
After all, these things are simply innocuous to Zhu Yuanzhang.
The reward to Chu Ze was fake, the main reason was to see what Chu Ze was interested in.
"Your Majesty is so powerful! Then I won't be polite! I remember that ancient poisons contained arsenic, crane-top red and so on. Your Majesty, please reward me with a bottle and allow me to carry it with me in the future."
"If something happens some other time, I can handle it myself. I won't bother you to do it, right?"
“It saves time and trouble, and it’s good for you and me!”
"Fart! I'm telling you, I told you to live well, but you don't understand human language! Get out of here, get out of here!"
...
I originally thought that Chu Ze was greedy because he wanted to be rewarded so eagerly.
After doing this for a long time, this guy was still thinking about the poison.
Seeing Chu Ze's serious look, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately became angry.
I want to slap someone just by waving my hand.
While pretending to hit someone, he roared loudly and angrily.
This sudden voice shocked Zhu Biao, not to mention Chu Ze.
"Father, please calm down! Father, please calm down! What about... Chu Ze, how about I leave it to my sons and ministers to make the arrangements? Don't be angry, because it won't be worth it if you get angry."
Seeing that his old man was about to hit someone, Zhu Biao quickly stood between Chu Ze and Zhu Yuanzhang.
Then he gave Zhu Yuanzhang good words to persuade him.
At the same time, he pushed Chu Ze backward without leaving any trace.
"Take this bastard and get out of here. We don't want to see him now. We'll get angry when we see him!"
After Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Biao standing up, he followed the steps handed over by Zhu Biao and went down.
With a flick of his sleeves, he immediately chased people away.
"Father, my son, please retire!"
"Father, please retire first!"
"Father, Holy Ann!"
At Zhu Biao's signal, Zhu Di and Zhu Xi, who was confused the whole time, also bowed and left.
Zhu Biao quickly pulled Chu Ze and walked out.
"Wait, second brother, you stay here. We have something to talk to you about!"
"ah?"
Zhu Xiang, who originally wanted to take the opportunity to escape, heard Zhu Yuanzhang's bone-chilling voice as soon as he stepped out of the door.
When Zhu Xi turned around, his eyes met Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.
This scared him and quickly lowered his head.
Before Chu Ze and the others had gone far, there was a cry for mercy from behind.
That sound... was simply heartbreaking...
